The journal facilitates discussions on Animal ecology, Ecology, Foraging, Habitat and Biological dispersal. Animal ecology research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Range (biology), Home range, Ecology (disciplines), Movement (music) and Predation. The journal aims to form a more comprehensive understanding of the field by integrating disciplines like Movement (music) and Context (language use).
Seasonal breeder, Arctic, Ecosystem, Forage (honey bee) and Climate change are some of the facets of Ecology tackled in it. Intraspecific competition, Generalist and specialist species, Pelagic zone and Nest are some topics wherein Foraging research discussed in the journal have an impact. It tackles topics on Nest, which can potentially contribute to the wider field of Zoology.
The work on Habitat tackled in Movement ecology brings together disciplines like Physical geography, Fishery and Selection (genetic algorithm). It primarily discusses Biological dispersal topics, particularly Metapopulation and Seed dispersal.
The published articles facilitate discussions on Animal ecology, Ecology, Movement (music), Ecology (disciplines) and Biological dispersal. While the most cited articles primarily focused on Animal ecology, they also opened dialogues on the discipline of Context (language use). The journal articles focus on Ecology but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Cartography and Crosswind.
The main points discussed in the journal deals with Animal ecology, Ecology, Habitat, Foraging and Predation. Some problems in Animal ecology that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Intraspecific competition, Home range, Ecology (disciplines), Movement (music) and Artificial intelligence. The work tackled in the journal goes beyond the discipline of Ecology as it also encompasses Biological dispersal.
The journal holds forums on Habitat that merges themes from other disciplines such as Bird migration, Range (biology), Seed dispersal and Taiga. The Foraging works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Nocturnal, Fishery and Nest. The featured Predation studies mainly concentrate on Selection (genetic algorithm) but also cover areas of interest in Randomness, Data mining and Statistical power.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Movement ecology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Movement ecology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 40.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 20.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.00% of all publications and 28.00% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)For students interested in Animal Science and Veterinary fields, exploring related online degrees can open diverse career pathways. A popular option is pursuing an online bachelor's in kinesiology, which focuses on the mechanics of animal and human movement. This degree can complement veterinary knowledge, especially in rehabilitation and physical therapy for animals.
For those seeking quicker entry into healthcare roles that support veterinary and animal care sectors, identifying the easiest lpn programs to get into can be advantageous. Licensed Practical Nurses play important roles in clinical settings, and some programs offer fast-track options online.
Veterans interested in expanding their expertise may find the veteran friendly online speech pathology degree particularly appealing. While speech pathology primarily focuses on human communication, the skills gained can also benefit animal behavior specialists in therapeutic contexts.
Finally, those drawn to mental health aspects of veterinary care might consider programs like the best online pmhnp programs. Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners support both human and animal caregivers by addressing psychological well-being, highlighting the interconnectedness of animal and human health.
